If we agree on going down this route, then the first step is to
convert the existing ecdh generic algorithm and its users to this
scheme to ensure no regressions.

After that then you can add your driver.

PS I just noticed that we already have one driver implementing
ecdh, atmel so it too would need to be converted before we take
on any new drivers for ecdh.

Thanks,
